Powdered Lamb milk?

[steveR]

For the past couple of years, I was using an Irish origin lamb milk powder, whose brand name escapes me*, made with ewes milk. Super product on the lambs, mixed well and no brown crap settling out in minutes like the Volac stuff. How Volac can be used in an ad-lib situation escapes me, when it settles so quickly?

My supplier no longer has the Irish milk, on cost grounds I believe. A neighbour who also used it, has now moved to Milkivit, but I cannot find a local Stockist of this even after calling Trouw, the makers.

Any suggestion for a supplier of the Irish milk please Shropshire area? Only (hopefully) needing a bag or two, but that is in the lap of the Lambing Gods....

I’m not sure who’s selling it locally, and it would be my first choice too.
I rang round trying to source half a ton but was unsuccessful so ended up with Downland again.

If you really want a cough, take a look at the price of Ewereka Shine on Stow Ag Services website…

SCA milk is made for ad lib through the shepherdess feeders. Strange thing is,I reckon volac milk is better than shine for ad lib as far as settling out goes

They used to say it is genuine Lamlac in Mole bags; I have my doubts...
